OK, I've stayed out of these threads, but now I have to step in. You said that nothing bad ever happens from the decision to follow christ. What about the thousands of christians who are persecuted, killed and tortured for their faith every year in countries around the world. Check outhttp://www.persecution.net/main.htm I am a christian, but I have to say that I do not agree with your methods or most of your views. I would also like to remind everyone that he does not speak for all christians.
But according to Christ that is not a bad thing seeing we as Christians are looking forward to spending eternity with Him.
He also said that some would be killed for His name. Notice the difference...Some Christians are KILLED we don't go out and committ suicide in a plane.

I know I'll get flack for this one...
